You have 2 choices this year. And God is waiting to see which one you pick. Pastor Eric Thomas (ET The Hip Hop Preacher) breaks down the only decision that actually matters this year — using the story of Jonah to show why every time you try to handle it in your own strength, your ship starts breaking up. Your relationships. Your finances. Your peace. All of it. But when you operate in divine strength? Alignment. Obedience. Consistency. Long-term fruit. The choice sounds simple. But most of us keep picking the wrong one, and wondering why nothing is working. This sermon will tell you exactly why. And exactly what to do instead.

Are you succeeding outwardly while failing inwardly? It is easy to lead a church or mentor others while harbouring a restless, offended heart that resents God's mercy. In this powerful lesson on Jonah Chapter 4, Rev Paul Jeyachandran challenges Christian leaders to examine the "three movements of the heart"—from being offended and obstructed to becoming fully opened and offered to God. By addressing primal wounds and the cynicism that darkens the mind, this sermon provides essential training for pastors and leaders seeking genuine spiritual growth. Learn to use the "four T's" of biblical narrative—Tone, Tension, Twist, and Theology—to find transformative truth in scripture. Don't let an overcrowded soul or hidden offence paralyse your will. Dive into this study to ensure your core is as correct as your creed and experience the healing power of God's restorative questions today.#ChristianLeadership #JonahSermon #PastorTraining #ChurchGrowth #InnerHealing #BiblicalTheology #IDMCMovement #SpiritualGrowth #RevPaulJeyachandran
This week Pastor Kevin continues in our series Jonah., specifically at Jonah Chapter 3. God wants us to be part of his mission. Join us in listening to how turning to God can change your life for eternity.
Jonah is a one-of-a-kind prophet, displaying God's amazing ability to use sinful men in His service. Were it not for some historical parallels and the Lord Jesus himself mentioning "the sign of Jonah" three times in the gospels (in the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses it will be established), it would be easy to believe this was "a whale of a tale," merely a literary fiction. But it cannot be that. The sum of God's word is truth (Psalm 119:160). There is a very important reason that this book is in the canon, and we must not run from the truth of God's word. The principle established in Exodus 23 was for Jonah, as it is for all of God's people in all times and places: “Behold, I send an angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. Pay careful attention to him and obey his voice; do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgression, for my name is in him. “But if you carefully obey his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. Exodus 23:20–22 The Angel of YHWH, Malachi, is God's presence with us - Immanuel, the Word Incarnate - and we are to listen and obey. In fact, as Jenny and I have just learned from studying Hebrew, "listening to the voice" and obeying are one and the same in that language! Christians, when we are honest we are all a bit too much like Jonah. "All we like sheep have gone astray." Let us rejoice in God's mercy to all, and be the feet that bring the joyful gospel of peace to all mankind. Here is a fantastic summary (I learned a great deal from it!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLIabZc0O4c
Jonah, the reluctant prophet, was called to prophesy against the pagan capital of the world, Nineveh. He attempted to shun the assignment until God explained it to him a little more clearly! His message to Nineveh:40 days and you get yours! The greatest miracle in the book of Jonah was Nineveh's repentance, within the allotted 40 days, on speculation! They reasoned that maybe, if they repented, God might change His mind. They did. And He did. A century later, Nahum was sent to ask them to repent and Nineveh failed. Judgment resulted. Obadiah prophesied against Israel's enemies. His book provides insights into the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ and why some countries will apparently escape the rule of the Antichrist. These are three small books of the Bible that contribute a critical perspective for all of us. This study contains 8 hours of verse by verse teachings. Copyright © 10-01-2010

Our God uses people to reach people. From the very beginning, He has chosen a group to go out and bless the world. But the Bible is full of humans failing to live up to this divine calling. One of the most iconic and ironic examples is the prophet Jonah. Join us this Sunday to see how even polytheistic, pagan sailors reflected God's heart more than Jonah did.
Having compassion can be difficult when you feel like someone has done you or others wrong and they don't get what you think they "deserve". In the message from Pastor Bryan, Jonah has no compassion for God's people. One message that holds so much truth, is that God is a loving and compassion God.
Do you ever feel like you've messed up too many times? Has the fear set in that you've used up too much of God's grace, and too many of His "second chances"?If that's you, we want you to know that there is no distance that God won't cross to win you back, and welcome you home!In this message, Pastor Aaron breaks down Jonah Chapter 3 to look at how when we repent, and turn to God, He is faithful to relent from His anger, and give us the grace to try again. Not grace that just "barely" accepts us, but a grace that boldly loves us, beyond our wildest imaginations!
How many times do you wish you had been given a second chance, or have an opportunity for a due over. Well, in the message we hear from Pastor Bryan, we see a God of second chances. God doesn't ever tell us that's it. When we confess we have done wrong, he is always willing to give a second chance.

How many times do you wish you had been given a second chance, or have an opportunity for a due over. Well, in the message we hear from Pastor Bryan, we see a God of second chances. God doesn't ever tell us that's it. When we confess we have done wrong, he is always willing to give a second chance.
In this study we will finish this great book of Jonah. In the previous chapter, Jonah finally obeyed Yahweh and delivered the proclamation to Nineveh regarding their impending destruction by Yahweh. Nineveh repented just as Jonah feared they would, and Yahweh forgave them and spared Nineveh also just as Jonah feared He would.It must be pointed out that Yahweh had never asked Nineveh to repent. He simply sent word to them through His Prophet Jonah that He had had enough and was to destroy them in forty days. The show of great faith by the heathen of Nineveh no doubt touched the Lord's heart; and for the sincere change of the heart of one's who were before such great heathen, Yahweh turned away His wrath from them. Yahweh was no doubt pleasantly impressed by the new-found faith that these once heathen people had in Yahweh's willingness and ability to forgive and show mercy.Then Yahweh reminds Jonah about his love for the animals. Jonah loved a plant, so he should respect Yahweh's love for the animals. Those animals would suffer too if Yahweh permitted some great trouble to destroy the city.So, now Jonah must decide whether Yahweh was right to forgive Nineveh's people and to save their city.But many will have an opportunity in the thousand year period in to be taught. Yahweh will judge no one to eternal perdition in their ignorance, all who perish will perish by their own doing, having heard the truth and rejecting it.Yahweh loves all His children the same. He doesn't like what many of them are doing, but he still loves them all the same. For Yahweh loves all His children, both good and evil, and he wishes that all would come to repentance and everlasting life:2 Pet 3:9 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.We sometimes forget that Yahweh has emotions, but we were created in His image and we have emotions. We know through the Bible that Yahweh does have emotions, but we seem to only pay attention to Yahweh's emotions of wrath and anger. Yahshua Messiah is Yahweh manifest in the flesh, and in the shortest verse of the entire Bible we see:John 11:35 35 Yahshua wept.But the saddest thing of all is that Yahweh will have to eternally destroy many of His beloved children whom He created to love Him and give Him good pleasure by their company in the eternity:Rev 4:11 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.How about you friend? Have you given Yahweh any pleasure lately? All He really wants is your love. He tells us how to be approved by Him, He wants us to study His Word, to learn of Him, so that we will not be sidetracked into perdition by the wicked one Satan. In the Bible, Yahweh has written us a letter of love, caution, instruction, and direction, but how many of us refuse to even read it? We are either too lazy, too busy, or we just don't care. 2 Tim 2:15-16 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto Yahweh, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.Matt 11:28-30 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.Have any questions?

Have you ever felt so far from God that you feel he doesn't hear your prayer? As we continue our series in Jonah, we learn no matter where we are in life God hears our prayers. Pastor Bryan shares Jonah's prayer as he cries out in repentance to God. Even when Jonah thinks he has hit rock bottom and there is no way out, God hears him and sees him.
Raise your hand if you have heard the story of Jonah and the Whale? I thought I knew the whole story of Jonah but the story is so much deeper than just a man in the belly of a fish. Take a listen to the message from Pastor Bryan.

In this episode, Sally and Curtis dive into Jonah Chapter 4, exploring the prophet's reaction to God's mercy towards Nineveh. Despite witnessing the city's repentance and God's compassion, Jonah becomes angry, revealing his struggle with justice, fairness, and personal comfort. Through an in-depth discussion, they examine the contrast between Jonah's limited perspective and God's boundless grace. The episode also unpacks the significance of the leafy plant that God provides and then removes, using it as a lesson on misplaced priorities and spiritual blindness. Ultimately, this episode highlights the patience of God—not only towards Nineveh but also towards Jonah—as He seeks to guide His people towards repentance and understanding.
In this episode of Arise+Abide, Sally and Curtis delve into Jonah Chapter 3, exploring the remarkable story of Nineveh's repentance. Following Jonah's deliverance from the belly of the great fish, God gives him a second chance to deliver His message to the people of Nineveh. The hosts reflect on Jonah's obedience, the simplicity and power of his prophecy, and the profound response of the Ninevites, from the king to the common people. They discuss themes of humility, repentance, and God's eagerness to show mercy to those who turn from their wicked ways. This episode challenges listeners to examine their own lives: Are we stepping down from the thrones we've placed ourselves on and putting God first? Tune in for an inspiring conversation about obedience, transformation, and the boundless compassion of God. Follow-Up Questions: How might the speakers' insights on obedience and humility apply to the listeners' own lives and faith journeys? [07:08] What other examples from the Bible or personal experiences could the speakers draw upon to further illustrate the themes of God's compassion and mercy? [10:51] How can the listeners actively seek to make God's character known to those around them, as the speakers emphasize is the purpose of God's interactions with His people?
In this episode of Arise+Abide, hosts Sally and Curtis dive into Jonah Chapter 1, exploring the prophet's dramatic response to God's call. Reflecting on Jonah's attempt to flee from his mission to Nineveh, they examine themes of God's mercy, human disobedience, and divine purpose. Through the lens of Jonah's journey, the hosts discuss relatable struggles with surrendering to God's will, the transformative power of repentance, and the unexpected ways God uses challenging situations to reveal His character. They also explore the parallels between Jonah's story and God's larger redemptive plan, highlighting how even in disobedience, God's grace shines through to bring others to faith. This thought-provoking episode invites listeners to consider their own callings, the importance of obedience, and the assurance that God's plans prevail—even in the storms of life.
